I compiled and installed Pidgin 2.11.0 according to the instruction given in Linuxbabe.com but after that I could not connect Facebook to the pidgin. I used a plugin called "purple-facebook" to conncet Facebook with pidgin before but after the upgrade that plugin does not appear in pidgin accounts manager. I tried to uninstall it but that does not work.Simply "sudo apt purge pidgin" does not work. Anybody have any idea to solve this matter. Regards

  • I followed the guideline given in (http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/64759/how-do-i-remove-uninstall-a-program-that-i-have-complied-from-source). I triggered the command ./configure and then make uninstall. But it did not work for me. – Thanuj Aug 29 '16 at 17:09

sudo apt-get purge pidgin-ppa

Unable to remove Pidgin software completely

Hope it helps you.

  • This is not going to help OP because OP didn't install pidgin using pidgin-ppa. – edwinksl Aug 29 '16 at 07:42
  • Thank you very much for your help but I didn't install pidgin via a ppa. I compiled it from the source. So i think apt or apt-get commands will not work with this situation. Thank you again for your kind help. – Thanuj Aug 29 '16 at 17:07
